The Patch function allows the administrator to deploy a patch file upgrade on all agents under the same group policy. The patching process can be conducted remotely and automatically using policy synchronization. Only one patch file (Agent version) is allowed to be upgraded each time under each group policy.

A patch is generally used to fix or enhance the current version. If you accidentally patch an older version, the patch deployment should not work and the agent status will keep un-synced with the StellarOne console. Meanwhile, other policy settings can't be deployed, either. After 20 minutes the agents will resynchronize with StellarOne; until then can the policy settings be applied to the agent.

Procedure

  1. Go to Agents → All.
  2. Navigate to the target agent or group, and then go to its Policy page.

    For instructions on how to go to the Policy page, see Go to the Agent View for a single agent or Go to the Group Policy Screen for a group of agents.
  3. Scroll down and find the Patch at the bottom right corner of the screen.
  4. Click the checkbox next to the version of the patch file for deployment.

    You can import new patches for the agent on the Importing/Deleting Agent's Patch page.
  5. The selected patch file will be deployed on the agents under the same group policy.
    Note
    Note
    Since StellarOne can apply global policy to all managed agents or certain group policies to group-owned endpoints for conducting the patching process on multiple devices at the same time, before you select agent version, please be aware that:
    • By default, the global policy should be applied to every agent. TXOne Networks suggests that you keep lower agent version in the global policy settings.
    • If you don't want to set any agent version for patch deployment, do not select any of the checkboxes next to the agent version patch files in the Patch pane.
    Important
    Important
    StellarProtect Agent 1.0 does not support remote patch because it does not have any available remote patch files.
  6. By default, StellarOne will automatically deploy the selected patch to the group of agents. However, if you toggle off the Allow automatic updates, the agents will only download the latest patch from StellarOne without installing. The local users can choose to run on-demand patch update manually on the agent console.
